Changed the title...since it was always Himeko's perspective... XD

Akane smiled towards her son and waved her hand, motioning for him to come closer to them.

"How was your day, Yūsuke?"

Yūsuke, also known as 'Bossun', threw his bag at the couch and plopped himself on the dining chair. He sighs. "Kind of rough," Himeko met his eye as this words left his mouth, her violet eyes asking something silently, 'What happened wrong?' Bossun waved her off, assuring her that nothing went wrong. Himeko frowned and put down her bowl.

"Seriously."

"Ehhh, it's nothing. Just some kid asking if you were there and we went out, looking for you. After we searched almost every inch of the town, we told the kid that tomorrow you'll show up." He explained briefly, sighing in exhaustion. "Though I am intelligent, I never knew you'd be here," He added thoughtfully.

Himeko laughs. "Me, too," Yūsuke (Himeko will never admit this, but it was quite comfortable saying his name.) nodded then grinned at her. Rumi looked at her brother then at Himeko, switching back again and again. She smirks. Yūsuke looked at his sister in the corner of his eye and since Rumi knew he would, she quickly wept off the smile on her face.

Luckily, Bossun didn't see it.

Akane smiled softly as the two started talking about something she doesn't exactly know, but it made her smile more. She stood up and the two stopped. She smiled apologetically. "You may continue," Bossun shrugged at this and started talking again, making Himeko cautious this time.

After dinner, they had decided to watch TV. They watched one movie until Himeko yawned. Akane looked at the clock and frowned. "What's your parents' number?" She asked to anime ko, which made the blond confused.

"Um, I'm not staying but thank you," Himeko said and stands up, reaching for her Flagrance and bag. Akane had this serious face as her brown eyes glaring at Himeko. Himeko shivered and regretted what she said. Akane smiles. She flinches but not visible.

"You're a girl and I can't let you go off on your own."

She almost bursted out laughing.

Almost.

But Yūsuke/Bossun did.

Akane raised her eyebrow at him, glaring mostly. Bossun shrugged off the fact that his mother was glaring at him. He walked towards Himeko and snatched her hockey stick, which she didn't mind for now being. "Look at this," Bossun said and showed them the hockey stick.

"Now, do you think she can't handle her own?"

Akane and Rumi blinked.

Himeko smiles.

"But,"

Himeko furrowed her eyebrows, violet eyes showing curiosity. Bossun looks at her eyes and put down her hockey stick, leaning on it somehow. He grins. "I can't let you off on your own, too." Himeko was surprised and tried to speak for herself but her mouth seemed shut.

Bossun grinned and put back her hockey stick in the bag.

"Now come on!" Bossun threw the hockey stick to her and she caught it, still shell-shocked from what her friend had said. Yūsuke (She tried the name again.) grabbed her arm then it quickly folded with her hand. Bossun ran while Himeko kept up with the pace. She observed the man in front of her.

She was confused.

Why didn't he let her just go alone?

She can handle herself. Their pace had slowed down and the thought made Himeko pout. And she did. She looked down though, still walking. Finally, her hands seemed cold. She looked at her hand and it wasn't hooked with Bossun's anymore. She felt cold.

"Hey, why are you pouting?"

She jumped a little and looked at Bossun, who she thought wasn't watching her. Bossun had this frown on his face. She blushed.

"I-I...I was just-...Urgh..." She sighs which made Bossun snicker. She blushed more and looked at him, starting to feel tsundere-like. "Wh-What?!" Yūsuke (She...just wanted to.) shook his head, smiling and looked forward as he muttered something with the smile still on his face.

"Hehhhh..." She let this off, for now since Bossun did give her a free day.

After a moment of silence, Himeko broke it.

"Hey,"

Bossun looked back, "Hm?"

Himeko looked down on the cement ground but did not stopped walking and so did Bossun.

"Why did you say that you can't let me go off alone?" She finally asked. Bossun stopped silently which made Himeko bumped his back. "Eh?" She moved backward as Bossun turned around to her. Bossun smiles.

His smiles were very confusing to her.

But nonetheless, it was sincere, that she could tell.

"You're a girl,"

What.

The.

Heck?
